About me

Location	United States
Introduction	Hello everyone we are Joe and Nikki. In 1998 we purchased a 26' trailer (which we called TrailsEnd) pulled by a 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee and started traveling on our short vacations. This set up was definitely the tail wagging the dog. In 2003 we traded for a 30' Class C Motorhome.Then in late 2006 we traded for a Class A diesel pusher. This was our plan since the incarnation of full timing took hold us around 2004. We have been camping since the early days our marriage in the 1960's. In those days it was the infamous VW Microbus then it was on to 4x4 desert camping and dirt biking until one miserable Thanksgiving with cold winds in a small dome tent, 3 sons and cold slices of turkey. For the next 16 years or so, roughing it was a bad view at the Holiday Inn. In the beginning of 2008 we put our house up for sale and it sold in 2 weeks. For the next 2 years we lived in our motorhome at Newport Dunes RV Resort, Newport Beach, Calif as we wound down our jobs. In June 2010 Nikki retired while I still continue to telework a few hours a day. I want to thank the Gypsy Journal, RV-Dreams, Escapees, and all those before us for keeping our dreams alive while we worked toward the adventure..
